Petite Sans Culotte (1793 tartane)
''Petite Sans Culotte'' was a French Navy tartane that the French Navy acquired at Toulon in July 1793, and armed with two 6-pounder guns.〔 The British captured her in August at the Siege of Toulon. She was commissioned on 5 September into the British Royal Navy under the command of Lieutenant James Morgan, of . Morgan had been a midshipman on ''Victory'' and on his promotion to 8th Lieutenant of ''Victory'', was immediately transferred to ''Petite Sans Culotte''. He brought with him as crew 10 men from ''Victory''. Consequently, the British renamed her ''Petite Victoire''.〔''Naval Chronicle'', (1799) Vol. 2, pp.195-6.〕
''Petite Victoire'' served against the batteries surrounding the city and performed useful services during the evacuation of Toulon on 18 December.〔''United Service Magazine'' (February 1840), Part. 1, p.173.〕 She apparently was not abandoned to be captured.〔
==Fate==
She was lost off Cap Corse.〔 In a journal entry and two letters dated 16 March 1794, Lord Nelson mentions that ''Petite Victoire'' "having started a plank was obliged to run on shore, and is hauled up", and "Petite Victoire – hauled on shore at Erbalonga".〔Nelson & Nelson (1845), pp.371-2.〕 Erbalunga is a fishing village on Cape Corse, the site of Tour d'Erbalunga, and some five miles north of Bastia. Nelson also reports that his carpenter had looked at ''Petite Victoire''; the carpenter reported that she was so damaged as not to be worth repairing. Nelson remarks that the officer commanding her was not at fault as the gale that resulted in his grounding her was strong.〔Nelson & Nelson (1845), p.374.〕 At the time Nelson, in , was off Erbalunga, planning an attack on Bastia.
